Question PDF of 968 Workshop Manual

Years ago there was a website called Cannell that used to have PDF copies of the WSMs for all Porsches prior to 2000. It looks like this site is no longer hosting the download links to them.

I need to get my hands on a PDF copy ASAP prior to traveling to pick up the wife's anniversary present. Does anyone have a PDF copy of the 968 WSM?

Thanks in advance!

You can go to Porsches website. They host most manuals now.

You can Google and find sites where you can download the pdf WSM.

What's your lucky wife getting, some new parts or a special tool?

Correction, they host the parts list and not the WSM.

There is also a manual called "Techniques" that is worth having to show how some work is performed. Also some separate technical update manuals to complete the set. Some of the necessary procedures are in the "944" manuals, the 968 WSM refers to the 944 WSM. Find all of those and the parts manual and you'll have some great late night reading while following along with RL ��

Can you expand on the "Techniques" manuals? I've got the FSM, tech bulletins and the PET but I've never heard of manuals detailing specific techniques. Do you by chance have part numbers for them?

It's the service training manual, couple of hundred pages. Google Porsche 968 Service Information Technik" and you should be able to find it. Manual number WKD 497420. The 92 covers the base 968 and the 93 is for the CS. The only versions of the 93 CS have corrupted pages so won't load.

Google the indicated phrase and youll find a utube vid in which someone pages thru the entire thing. Very cool, will help you decide if you want to find a copy

Here's a link to a Spanish Forum that links the Technik manual for several Porsche models including the 968. While the forum is in Spanish, the manuals linked are in English.
